Forthcoming in 23/24

Bierke is happy to announce a few forthcoming titles to look out for:

In September/October we will release the first comprehensive overview of fifty years of work by Pippa Garner. The monograph Act Like You Know Me accompanies the exhibitions at Kunstverein München, Kunsthalle Zürich and Frac Lorraine, and the forthcoming exhibition at White Columns in New York, which will open in November.

In fall we will also release two very special record projects. One is a LP/book set to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the amazing space school in Vienna, run by Yasmina Haddad and Andrea Lumplecker. It include text, conversation and tracks by Tyler Cala, Wally Sallner, Soraya Lutangu Bonaventure, Nils Amadeus Lange, Anahita Asadifar, Phillip Sollman and many more..

The other LP is by the artist Jimmy Robert, originally conceived in connection with his exhibition la musique dans la chambre at Künstlerhaus Bremen. It is a co-release with Apparent Extent and the Künstlerhaus Bremen.

We will also be releasing Henrike Naumann: CONCEPTS, a substantial overview of the artist’s almost complete concept papers she has created and developed for her projects. Conceived as an artist book.

 

 

Aleana Egan: small field

Bierke is very happy to be able to release a new publication of Aleana Egan, produced and edited by Melissa Canbaz and the Künstlerhaus Bremen. Covering the exhibition at the Künstlerhaus, this publication also connects the poster contributions in very special way. Having printed these contributions by Michaela Chiriac, Sofia Duchovny, Hella Gerlach, Manuela Leinhoß, Vera Palme, Kirsten Pieroth and Nora Schultz on removable static stickers allows the reader to create various new connections and dialogues between the different artworks and spacial settings.
